‘Wolf Tickets’: UFC Fans React as Dana White Teases Robert Whittaker vs. Khamzat Chimaev Next

UFC President Dana White recently posted a video on Instagram promoting his new slap-fighting company, PowerSlap. A user on the platform commented on his post asking for a match between undefeated Khamzat Chimaev and former middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker. White gave a cheeky reply to that user’s comment.

Khamzat Chimaev is in search of a fight. He claimed on social media that nobody wants to fight him. And fans are clamoring for a match between the Russian-born Swedish fighter and Robert Whittaker. Both fighters have maintained cordial relationships with each other. Chimaev even stated that he’d rather train than fight with Whittaker.

Many believe that Khamzat vs Whittaker is one of the most interesting bouts in MMA today. Chimaev was offered to different fighters, but none of them wanted to go face-to-face against him according to ‘Borz’. Robert Whittaker is a bona fide mixed martial artist and is a former UFC middleweight champion.

• Whittaker wont TKO but he will put a beating on khamzat. Khamzat will spend all his energy in trying to tale down whittaker unsuccessfully in 1st round and get beat up by robert in 2nd,3rd
• Whittaker hasn’t had a tko in years lmao. And burns didn’t “nearly kill” khamzat it was a close fight. If that’s how you saw it Khamzat “nearly killed” burns too.
